Thanks for taking your time to post the vid mate, was very simple and straight forward cheers

Very good instruction. This will be my replacement. Thanks

Thank you for this post! I will be doing this for the first time on a 40 hp Mercury and found your video easy to follow, very detailed, and loaded with good tips like the shift linkage disconnect procedure. The only other trick I might try before taking the pump housing off is putting a scribe mark between the top surface of the pump housing and the shaft to help make sure the splines are lined up with the flywheel when the lower unit is being put back on.

Thanks a lot. Helps me with my Mercury 50. Very nice video and explanation! Cheers from France. Dan

Well done!

Great Video!

Excellent video, very clear views of all. One of the best of many I have seen. Just did my 2003 40 HP Mercury two stroke, but have a problem with the shifting. Don't know why.

The adjusting is very sensitive.. make sure to put tha gear box in neutral and your shifter on neutral position bwfore screwing the connecting nut

Well done sir

Nice video!

Thanks

On all the videos I have watched concerning water pump replacement, no one mentions the wrenches or sockets they using. Otherwise great video, Thanks

Take a paper lip and make sure the water hole is not clogged

Good video, need to do the same on mine. Any advice on how to get the long shifter nut moving? Mine seems to be ceased onto the top rod ....

What kind of grease was used in the housing and on gasket?

Great video! Thanks! Question? I have the same motor on essentially the same boat as yours. What size prop are you running?

Very difficult to put the 5th nut back on due to it being way up in the cavity and prop blades are in the way. Not required, just makes reassembly a little easier. Personal preference.

Were you in neutral when doing this
